Just realize all over the counter sleeping pills are either diphenhydramine hydrochloride, or doxylamine succinate, with the former being more common, aka Benadryl. They are just antihistamines, dont fall for the brand bullshit, buy the cheapest bobo brand you can find. The diphenhydramine works better for me, the doxy makes me feel weirder. I have fucked up dreams on either one though.

I have been taking the otc stuff for years, and have NEVER woken up refreshed, Im always groggy for hours after I wake up. I also get immune to them very easily. I take max strength of either type, or buy the non max strength and take two (50mg).

They will put you down, but I have noticed I will wake up after only a couple of hours sometimes, and then take another 2+ hours to fall back asleep. It also feels like if you get woken up, then go back to sleep, the hours of sleep you got before didnt even count. It's weird.

Sandy Pantz - I have had mixed results with Diphenhydramine. Sometimes works, sometimes not. I didn't find that it worked well when I was stressed.

Im the same way, but only if I have taken it in recent times. I have to go 1-2 days without it for it to really work. If I go close to a week without it, then take it, it usually hits me really hard. I took it last night, it didnt do much, but did get me asleep. Tonight I took 50mg of doxy instead, and it's working, but starting to wear off, so if it does make me sleep early, I will probably end up waking up shortly after.

I don't find melatonin works for me either, but no you don't need a prescription. I have been a long time insomnia sufferer and I got addicted to sleeping pills in Uni so I refuse to take them anymore. If I ever get a bout of insomnia again I go with this:

but for me...about 5 years ago when i broke my leg and was put on some kickpain killers, after a few days on the pills i decided to take myself off of them b/c i didn't want to get addicted. I couldn't sleep for shit. a friend suggested the melatonin, and it worked like a charm for me.

A good night time cocktail is 1 ambien 1 Xanax. Just don't fight the sleep or you may end up shopping online and not quite remembering it. But it is fun 3-5 days later when you get a package at your door. Just like Xmas! You can always skip the Xanax if you want...but if it is a tough night that's a cocktail that is guaranteed to work.
